anything to her about the remarks
made.

account of privacy between women and
Warden Reed; have seen him take Mrs.
Beaudry into the side door of the in
spectors' room and the back door: thev
were probably together 25 to 80 minutes:
came to the door and listened because
l had my suspicious aroused; they
seemed, to be in the corner where
the lounge was; heard her
laugh and heard him talking
too low to be heard. Then all sounds
died away and / heard him breathe: he
began to breathe low and then louder
and louder, until he stopped breathing,
and | thought it was about time to 20
away, and | went up stairs.

the door it was about or 2:3O on Sun
day; it was Mrs. Azilda Beaudry.
REDIRECT never had any personal
differences with Warden Reed; had
differences with him on account of nv
wife; thought he abused my wife: it
was because he would not take heed of
what my wife had said to him that had
differences.
